## Visual Project Planning

Plan and visualize your projects with structured tools designed for clarity and precision.

- **Kanban Boards** — Manage workflows visually with customizable columns, WIP limits, and card-based task management for agile teams.
- **Work Breakdown Structure** — Break down complex projects into manageable tasks with hierarchical WBS views and automatic rollup calculations.
- **Task Dependencies** — Define finish-to-start, start-to-start, and other dependency types to ensure tasks execute in the correct order.
- **Critical Path Analysis** — Identify the longest sequence of dependent tasks to understand what drives your project timeline.
- **Cost & Cashflow Reports** — Track project financials with S-Curves, Earned Value (EVM), and real-time budget vs. actuals analysis.

## Collaboration & Organization

Secure your workspace, manage permissions, and keep everyone aligned with published plans.

- **Plan Publishing** — Draft changes safely in private and publish new versions when the plan is ready for the team.
- **Activity Feed** — Track all project changes with real-time activity logs. See who updated tasks, changed statuses, and modified timelines across your workspace.

- **Slack Integration** — Channel notifications, slash commands, and direct messages let you manage your projects without leaving Slack.

- **Team Permissions** — Control access levels with standard Owner, Lead, Member, and Viewer roles.
- **Multi-Workspace** — Organize different departments or clients into separate, isolated workspaces.
- **Resource Management** — Allocate resources, track utilization to avoid burnout, and detect assignment conflicts across the entire workspace.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Does YAPL support critical path scheduling?

Yes. YAPL automatically identifies the critical path — the longest sequence of dependent tasks — so you can see exactly what's driving your project timeline and where delays will impact your delivery date.

### Can I use YAPL offline?

Yes. YAPL works as a Progressive Web App, so you can access cached pages and continue working on your plans even without an internet connection, then sync automatically once you're back online.

### Does YAPL have both Gantt charts and Kanban boards?

Yes. YAPL includes interactive Gantt charts with drag-and-drop scheduling, automatic dependency calculations, and critical path highlighting, alongside Kanban boards with customizable columns and WIP limits for teams that prefer an agile, card-based view.

### Can I manage tasks from Slack?

Yes. YAPL's Slack integration gives you channel notifications, slash commands, and direct messages so you can manage your projects without leaving Slack.

### Can an AI agent edit my plans?

Yes — YAPL exposes an open MCP connector. Connect Claude (or any agent that supports remote MCP servers) and it can draft tasks, dependencies, and resource bookings in your open plan, answer schedule and cost questions, and record progress. Structural edits always land in an unpublished draft that you review and publish, and the agent only ever has the access your own account has. Available on Professional and Trial plans.

### Does YAPL support team roles and permissions?

Yes. YAPL controls access with standard Owner, Lead, Member, and Viewer roles, so you can manage exactly who can view, edit, or administer each workspace.
